Oh, and our SNSJ sec ones came in on Friday, 22 Jan 2010. We're FINALLY the oldest (non-ma'ams) seniors! YAY! But, eh, NO OFFENSE, but I don't exactly know them. So, obviously, I can't pretend to love them UNTIL one day I know them. And, they left a DEEP IMPRESSION on me, and trust me, it's not a good one... yeah... But lucky, SNSJ is getting more and more FUN! Even the "punishments" are fun. OK. Maybe I'm masochistic... But don't you think hopping around and running around with your squadmates FUN? However, Screw you P.O.C. WHYYYYYY MUST NURSING CADETS WERE FREAKING SKIRTS/ dresses?! DAMN YOU, whoever you are. I OFFICIALLY declare that for the first time in my life, I am traumatised by SJ. Thank you every much for traumatising me. If I die, it's your fault, SJ, and I doubt CPR can help anymore.
And woosh. School is starting tmr. And yay, I can't wait for JTC!!! And, P.O.C? I wanna die. I wanna die. I wanna die. OMG, I'm still damn depressed and I dunno what to wear for P.O.C. Might as well turn up in my full u. *SIGH*
Guess what, I'm just gonna sleep to hide from reality now. byebye.
